Rick will preach that day, and we'll have a cookie reception to give everyone an opportunity to wish the Mangs well. If you would like to give toward a love offering for Rick and Liz, please mark "Mang Love Offering" in the memo of your gift (note that love offering gifts are not tax deductible). We also suggest that Sonic gift cards would be appropriate! We will be sad to see Rick and Liz leave us, but wish them blessings on their new ministry in Crowley. Click here to read Rick's announcement letter.
New Associate Pastor to be Appointed We are excited to announce that Rev. Jenn Pick will be appointed as our new Associate Pastor at Annual Conference in June. New appointments take effect July 1, so Jenn will begin work that day.

Jenn has most recently been serving at First Methodist Church in Mansfield. She is a 2010 graduate of Drew Theological Seminary. Jenn is passionate about creative worship and international relations. Jenn has spent much of her ministry tenure in the New York Annual Conference, but she grew up in Red Oak, Texas.

Prayer Room
As a part of the Council on Ministries action plan, we have been working toward a goal of establishing a dedicated Prayer Room in the church. Volunteers and staff have been hard at work for a while now cleaning out, preparing and decorating a worshipful space in Founders Chapel. The new Prayer Room is located in what was once an office space for Media Ministries on the north side of the Founders Chapel chancel area. On Sunday, May 24, we will consecrate this sacred space during our one worship service at 11:00 AM in the Sanctuary. You are invited to take a moment to visit the Prayer Room any time the building is open.

Kenya Mission Trip - Updated!
There will be 11 people going on the Kenya trip this summer (June 15-27). We are still in need of funds to help cover the cost of the t-shirts we take for our AIDS orphan celebration day. If you would like to provide your child a t-shirt, the recommended donation is $15 per child. Just note "Kenya t-shirts" in the memo line of your check. Also, we are still in great need of gauze pads for the dispensary - either 2x2 or 4x4. Finally, it's time to bring your letters for your AIDS orphans. We ask that you please not include anything breakable, and limit the size of your envelope to a 9"x12" size. Please bring your letters by Sunday, June 7.
 Latvia Village News Due to conflicts with schedules, we will not be taking a trip to Latvia in September as we had originally planned. However, there will be several members of our church going in August during the Latvia Annual Conference gathering. Also, during this year's Friends of Latvia meeting, we decided to try to hold next year's Friends of Latvia gathering in Latvia! Keep that in mind if you are thinking about making a trip to Latvia, and mark June 2016 as a possible date. We'll let you know when we have more details. We would also like to congratulate Mark Croft, who is the newly-elected Chair of the national Friends of Latvia!

AFTER HOURS SESSIONS AT THRIFT SHOP
 Sounds fun doesn't it? After Hours. It will be fun because this is an entirely new opportunity for those of you who just have a few hours a week you can give for a greater good! And perhaps Summer is your only season when you DO have weekday hours available! Need child care? Our nursery will be open for your reservation! Contact Monica Vickery (monicav@fumcg.org, 817-481-2559 x145).
Our Thrift Shop turns over such an incredible volume of donated merchandise every day, every week, that for those hearing the statistics for the first time, it is simply staggering. Hard to believe that little white house on College Street, which is only open (staffed by volunteers) Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00 - 11:30 AM, has paid out over $24,000 last year to help others. That's right... $24,000!!
Because of that, director Angelia Ozymy recognizes the need for an AFTER HOURS session and beginning Wednesday, June 3, volunteers will be needed from 12 noon until 2:00 PM if you would like to be on this new team, please let her know. She will provide more details of what this group will be doing, but picture unpacking boxes of seasonal clothing to price, tag and hang on their racks as well as sorting and processing the out of season clothing donations. "After Hours" is the name because there will be no customers shopping during the noon - 2:00 PM time when this new team will be working. What a great way to serve with a handful of others who also have a heart to give back!
The Thrift Shop is an amazing outreach ministry of FUMCG and this is your chance to experience it in a new way! Angelia can be reached at aozymy@verizon.net.

Just Added... Drivers and Chaperones Needed for Swim Lessons
 We will be offering Swim Lessons to children in Grapevine Village again this year. The dates are May 26-28, 5:00 to 7:00 PM. Drivers and chaperones will be needed to drive children to and from swim lessons. Due to MinistrySafe policies, we need two adults in each vehicle, so more volunteers are needed. We will pick up children at 5:00 from the mailboxes at Shady Oaks Trailer Park (Grapevine Village). Swim lessons are at Dove Waterpark, 1509 Hood Lane, Grapevine. When Swim lessons end at 6:45, we will drive the children home. Car seats are also needed! If you would like to help, sign up on Serve Over Summer or contact Sue Schultz (817-705-8362 or seg1024@yahoo.com).

Benedict of Nursia
by Fred Rigdon
 One of our spiritual formation goals is to establish a daily rhythm that weaves our spiritual formation practices into our work and our relationships with others that allows us to remain aware of God's presence throughout our day. Benedict's Rule, although probably not practical for anyone not living in a monastery, can give us insight in how to establish our own personal daily rule. Benedict, the son of a wealthy Roman noble, was born in 480 in Nursia, Italy and was raised in Rome. At about the age of twenty, he left his studies and the vices of the city behind intending to live as a hermit. Keep reading...

Dena Kohleriter, LCSW/Family Therapist from the Momentous Institute, will lead us in "Faith, Fellowship and Belonging: Dealing with acceptance, rejection and bullying."

This week, we've had several people caught caring...
- The entire congregation was caught caring for the Williams family after the death of Ginger Williams. Bob Williams and family would like to thank you all for your care and concern for them during this difficult time.
- The Weekend Food team was caught caring as they provided a breakfast for nurses and counselors from our local schools on Tuesday morning.
- Ginny Middleton was caught caring... popping pudding cups apart to make it easier for the Weekend Food to do their bagging. She opens all of the big cases of pudding, removes the inside packaging, then replaces them neatly back in the box. This is a HUGE timesaver for the baggers!
- The United Methodist Women were caught caring as they prepared 24 "May Baskets" filled with goodies for our shut-ins.
Gifts Given
- A gift has been given to the AIDS orphan support in memory of Mitchell Maness by Don and Beverly Myers, Kelli Simpson, and Rick and Linda Davies.
- A gift has been given to the Permanent Endowment Fund in memory of Ginger Williams by Chuck and Jo Ann Compton.
- A gift has been given to the Benevolence Fund in memory of Judy Tiedtke by Ken and Kristine Hall.
Congratulations!
We would like to congratulate graduating seniors Bryan Scott and Addi Payne, who were both awarded Rotary Scholarships by the Grapevine Rotary Club today!
